Case Study: Leading New York University boosts Oracle performance and availability with SIOS Protection Suite for Linux

Major University Gives SIOS Protection Suite for Linux Top Marks for Protecting Oracle

Leading New York University needed a more cost-effective way to improve ERP performance, reduce TCO, and protect the availability of its mission-critical Oracle database used for student registration. The university turned to SIOS Technology and its Protection Suite for Linux, along with Oracle Application Recovery Kit support, to replace a legacy HP/UX, SAN-based clustered environment.

SIOS Technology helped the university deploy a SANLess Linux cluster using Red Hat Linux servers with SanDisk Fusion ioMemory, providing replication, application failover, and high availability without the cost and complexity of traditional SANs. The result was better performance, lower data center and power costs, reduced risk, and a smooth spring registration period with no help desk calls; the overall solution cost less than one old HP/UX server, while also freeing savings for added memory.
